...cartoon in Bologna's daily Resto del Carlino recently portrayed Christian Democrat Premier Aldo Moro and Communist Party Leader Enrico Berlinguer as a cozy couple on the dance floor, while Socialist Party Chief Francesco de Martino stood alone growling "Hey, I thought this was supposed to be my dance." Italian politics being what it is, the caricature contained more truth than humor. Making good on a long-hinted threat, the Socialist Party last week withdrew its parliamentary support for Moro's fragile coalition government, thereby forcing the Cabinet to resign. With Italy still deep in its worst postwar...
...success of Marvel Comics has certainly exceeded even Lee's expectations, and in fact they have branched out into other media. Some of his original comic book characters have appeared on their own Saturday morning cartoon shows for several years, although he has nothing to do with their production. He notes that Steve Krantz, of Fritz the Cat and Cooley High fame, is producing a feature film on Spiderman--not animated, but live action. Another director plans to put out a movie based on Lee's character the Hulk. And according to Lee, Paramount Television is planning a television series...
...Cartoon. Television is one form of entertainment in which critics rarely affect the box office, so it is hard to assess exactly how effective Deeb has been.

Deeb's criticisms helped prod the public TV network to air a documentary about the funeral business that the industry had tried to halt. He helped pressure a local station into dropping a cartoon series that he considered too violent...
...real danger to the enjoyment of these cartoons are among those who would analyze them--the bewailings of the falling-off of the cartoon market after the demise of the Saturday Evening Post, the endless discussions over drawing versus captions, even, God forbid, analytical tracings of artistic styles--they all glut the air and remove these cartoons into some sort of exalted humorless nether-region. The Saturday Evening Post had lousy cartoons (e.g. Hazel); drawings and captions balance each other out just fine; and no, I don't think Charles Addams is indebted to Salvador Dali...
...migraine headaches began to make her feel as though she would be nothing but a mass of decaying ectoplasm by the age of 40. I lent her this book, and in the depths of her depression she opened it and immediately began to howl with laughter. The cartoon she first turned to was by Ross: a football player runs towards a touchdown, shouting to the cheering crowd "Hey, fans! I've got a separated shoulder and a broken rib, but nothing can stop me! Right?" She laughed for days...
